Odds are you or someone
you know has looked at porn excessively and inordinate amounts
and we are glad you found us. For some, porn is an addiction that
costs them everything. Internet pornography use is on the
rise at a fast pace: lost jobs, failed marriages, and destroyed
families are the outcome. Everybody is vulnerable to this
addiction.

Whether the
motive for consuming pornography is sexual appetite, escape/self-medication,
or any other reason, engaging in these addictions causes the
brain and body to endogenously produce and release
chemical drugs into its own system. These chemicals include:
epinephrine (an adrenal gland hormone that "locks-in" memories
of experiences occurring at times of high arousal), adrenaline,
adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), noradrenaline, norepinephrine
and testosterone, among others. This drug is dragging millions
of troubled victims along in its destructive wake.

Persistent
accessing of porn not only provides the addict with sexual
arousal, but offers a way to self-medicate in order to escape
the realities of life. A porn addict will suffer withdrawal
symptoms when they try-or are compelled-to relinquish their
vice for any length of time. The withdrawal symptoms may drive
an addict to find porn and often causes him to act out his
needs in inappropriate ways.
